The target is 45.5 MM (about 2 inches.)
The bullseye is .5 MM (about 1/64 inch) The size of the period with 12 point type.
Still have my IZh-46M, after watching this I will have to get it out....
Geez, you can see the pistol movement, but they have mastered how to shoot with a moving sight picture.
Unreal.
I would rather have the Turkish guy watching my back than the Korean girl on any day of the week that ends in Y
I used to practice coming in from a hard long bike ride with my heart rate near maximum.
My IZh-46M set up and ready to shoot, once off the bike my HR drops quickly to ~85% of max.
With each heartbeat the sight picture JUMPS!
The shot has to be timed with my pulse.
The biathlon contestants are like robots.
—”any day of the week that ends in Y”
What about tomorrow
What caliber firearm and how far away do they shoot.
Ok I saw the video. Most impressive.
10 meters ~33 feet, 177 cal lead pellet.
Pre-charged pneumatic air rifle or air pistol pumped to 3000 PSI. SCUBA tanks are a popular air source.
Those skills are most useful in a war.
Bullseye shooting the sights are always moving.
Thanks for the info. I enjoyed watching them shoot.
That’s what the Olympics should be, horsemanship, swordfighting, shooting, throwing spears...
My favorite is Modern Pentathlon. It simulates a courier in war. Horsemanship, running, swimming, fencing and shooting. Patton scored bronze in it.
Correction. Patton placed third in one event and was fifth overall.
But can he shoot from a hot, sloped roof?
